Pitfalls for achievers

[Don Wei]

What are some of the biggest pitfalls young people who want to achieve a lot fall in ?

I feel like i'm in this category because I really want to achieve a lot even while i'm aware of spiral dynamics and the ego developemwnt stages, I always wanted to be a film director and also write books, but I was extremely afraid of what other people would think and also that I wouldn't have enough money to take care of myself while persuing these goals.

So I supressed this creative artistic side of myself heavily for 10 years and I tried to become a civil engineer at a great university instead because it felt more safe and i didn't have to doubt myself or make extremely painful decisions, while doing this I stopped taking care of my health and stopped improving myself just to get good grades.

I couldn't take lying to myself anymore and my creative urges started to leak out and moat people could see this was not for me and then I decided to quit and NEVER ignore my true passion and higher self or health anymore, and now almost everything I do is something related to becoming a filmdirector or at least a little bit similar, I for example started a youtube channel because I practice filming and making skits for fun so I though well why not upload it to youtube then ? And I also continued to write my book.

But the most important thing is that I have to now prove I am good enough to get into either filmschool or artschool.

(both schools i'm talking about are good to become a film director)

And school doesn't begin until september so in the meantime I have to earn money somehow, and I sometimes work for my big brother and there are also other dead end job type of ways to make some money in the meantime, but I would rather be a part time model until september (I haven't send any pictures to agencies yet)

While i'm doing all this, what are some really big pitfalls I must try to avoid ? Or am I already  falling in a pitfall without knowing it ? I am happy I made the decision to truly pursue my purpose and passion but something still doesn't completely feel right yet, so that's why I decided to ask you guys, maybe you guys can see something i'm maybe missing.
